They are extremely painful but its bizarre that my penis hurts. I tell doctors and they seem to just go on like nothing. Maybe it's normal and they aren't concerned but its a really unpleasant addition to this abscess. I don't have a UTI was tested for that.

They discount the pain? Thats ridiculous. Have they checked it at all? I would be afraid of a fistula forming there. I have read posts from men on the forum where that happened. I am sorry they are treating you so poorly.
